Personal Care

Siltech has long been recognized as being at the forefront of creating innovative silicones for the personal care industry. Siltech’s range of patented and proprietary technologies extends from silicone polyethers to silicone quats and organo-modified siloxanes. These specialized products enhance various formulas by providing improved softness, shine, conditioning, detangling and emollience. Siltech’s silicones are also used as emulsifiers for both oil-in-water and water-in-oil creams and in sun care products to improve stability and efficacy while also enhancing the product’s aesthetic delivery.

By working closely with our customers, Siltech has also created many products that are unique and exclusively used by those customers. Please contact us so that together we may develop such products for your specific needs.

Low carbon content alkyl methicone designed to have the dry feel of cyclomethicone. Excellent replacement for D4 and D5. Significantly reduces the surface tension of polar oils, such as triglycerides and esters, making them feel more like volatile silicones.View Material Safety Data SheetView Technical Data Sheet

All of these products add softness and lubricity to personal care and textile applications. They are substantive to fibres and are low yellowing. The water solubility and amine content can be varied to suit the customer’s needs.View Material Safety Data SheetView Technical Data Sheet

40% active water soluble silicone dimeramido quaternary compound. It provides conditioning, softening and manageability to hair, particularly treated hair. Is recommended for shampoos where mild conditioning is required and for body washes for extra softness. The presence of a fatty amido group in Silquat AD provides flexibility in formulating with anionic surfactants. Has an INCI name of Silicone Quaternium-8.View Material Safety Data SheetView Technical Data Sheet
